<h1>Installation</h1>
<p>The latest version of GIL can be downloaded from <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/boostorg/gil">https://github.com/boostorg/gil</a>.</p>
<p>The GIL is a header-only library. Meaning, it consists of header files only,
it does not require Boost to be built and it does not require any libraries
to link against.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The exception to dependencies-free rule of GIL is the I/O extension
which requires client libraries implementing popular image formats
like libpng, libjpeg, etc.</p>
</div>
<p>In order to use GIL, including <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">boost/gil.hpp</span></code> and telling your compiler
where to find Boost and GIL headers should be sufficient for most projects.</p>
